Contemporary Buttercream Piping Techniques

with Edward Cabral

September 27, 3:00–6:00 p.m.

Tuition: $100

Materials Fee: $20

This workshop will be a crash-course on using a pastry bag and either a star or round tip to decorate your bakes. Students will practice piping designs in buttercream while discussing further applications in pastry, including professional baking tips and a Q&A with the chef and host. Students will go home with a slice of cake they helped decorate (dairy, gluten).

Plan to bring: An apron and any additional piping tips you'd like to practice.
